CAMPFIRE SING A LONGS

CAMPFIRE SING A-LONGS Kick off the evening with some campfire songs for the kids. This popular selection can be noisy

and fun, and a good choice to tire the little ones out (even more) before bed. They are also

pretty easy to pick up quickly if the kids aren’t familiar with them.

and are especially nostalgic for past and present members of the Guide and Scout move-

ments. Upbeat and fun, and surprisingly familiar even for non Guides and Scouts.

3.” My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean”

“My Bonnie lies over the ocean, My Bonnie lies over the sea” My Bonnie lies over the

ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea, My Bonnie lies over the ocean, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

Chorus: Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me: Bring back, bring back, O bring

back my Bonnie to me. O blow ye winds over the ocean, O blow ye winds over the sea. O blow ye winds

over the ocean, And bring back my Bonnie to me.

Repeat chorus Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, Last night as I lay on my

pillow, I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead. Repeat chorus the winds have blown over the ocean, The

winds have blown over the sea, The winds have blown over the ocean, And brought back my Bonnie to

me. Repeat chorus My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank, the height of its contents to see, I lit a small

match to assist her, O Bring back my Bonnie to me.

Repeat chorus Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, I stuck my feet out of the

window, In the morning the neighbors were dead. Repeat chorus My mother makes beer in the bathtub,

My father makes synthetic gin, My sister makes fudge for a quarter, Would ja believe how the money

rolls in? Repeat chorus My mother, she drowned in the bathtub, My father, he died from his gin, My sis-

ter choked on her chocolate, My stars, what a fix I am in. Repeat chorus I tried making beer in the bath-

tub, I tried making synthetic gin, I tried making fudge for a living, Now look at the shape that I'm in.

4.”The Meatball Song Sung to the tune of On Top Of Old Smoky”

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table, and onto the floor

And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door

It rolled down the garden, and under a bush

And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush

The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be

And the very next summer it grew into a tree

The tree was all covered, all covered with moss

And on it grew meatballs, all covered with sauce

So if you have spaghetti, all covered with cheese

Hold onto your meatball, ‘cause someone might sneeze.

Oh, when the saints (oh when the saints)

go marching in (go marching in)

Oh, when the saints go marching in

Oh, when the saints go marching in

Lord, how I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call

Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call

Lord, how I want to be in that number

When the trumpet sounds its call

Oh, when the new world is revealed

Oh, when the new world is revealed

Lord, how I want to be in that number,

When the new world is revealed ,

I want to be in that number,

When the saints go marching in

1. “Wagon Wheel”-Old Crow Medicine/Darius Rucker

Headed down south to the land of the pines I'm thumbin' my way to North Carolina Starin' up the road And pray to God I see headlights I made it down the coast in seventeen hours Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight

Chorus

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama any way you feel Hey mama rock me Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Rock me mama like a south-bound train Hey mama rock me

Runnin' from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band My baby plays the guitar I pick a banjo now Oh, the North country winters keep a-gettin' me And I lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave But I ain't a-turnin' back To livin' that old life no more

Repeat Chorus

Walkin' due south out of Roanoke I caught a trucker out of Philly Had a nice long toke But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap To Johnson City, Tennessee And I gotta get a move on before the sun I hear my baby callin' my name And I know that she's the only one And if I die in Raleigh At least I will die free

Repeat Chorus

2. “Take Me Home Country Roads”-John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye



I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home faraway

And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday





Take me home, down country roads

Take me home, down country roads

3. “Let it Be”-The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me


Let it be, let it be


Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

3. “Let it Be”-The Beatles (Continued)



Yeah, there will be an answer

Let it be




Let it be


Let it be, yeah, let it be


Let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me




There will be an answer

Let it be



There will be an answer

Let it be




Let it be

4. “Time of Your Life”-Green Day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right

I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while







5. “Sweet Caroline”-Neil Diamond

Where it began

I can't begin to knowin'

But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands

Reachin' out

Touchin' me

Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I've been inclined

To believe they never would

But now I

Look at the night

And it don't seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two

And when I hurt

Hurtin' runs off my shoulders

How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm

Reachin' out

Touchin' me Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline


I've been inclined


Oh, no, no Sweet Caroline


I've been inclined


Sweet Caroline

6. “Brown Eyed Girl”-Van Morrison

Hey where did we go

Days when the rains came

Down in the hollow

Playin' a new game

Laughing and a running hey, hey

Skipping and a jumping

In the misty morning fog with

Our hearts a thumpin' and you

My brown eyed girl

You're my brown eyed girl

Whatever happened

To Tuesday and so slow

Going down the old mine

With a transistor radio

Standing in the sunlight laughing

Hiding behind a rainbow's wall

Slipping and sliding

All along the water fall, with you

My brown eyed girl


Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

Just like that

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da

So hard to find my way

Now that I'm all on my own

I saw you just the other day

My how you have grown

Cast my memory back there, Lord

Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout

Making love in the green grass

Behind the stadium with you

My brown eyed girl


Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (lying in the green grass)

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit)

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (sha la la la la la)

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

7. “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”-Johnny Cash

I looked over Jordan and what did I see?

Comin' for to carry me home

There was a band of angels, a-comin' after

me


Swing low, sweet chariot




I'm sometimes up, and I'm sometimes

down


But but I know my soul is heavenly bound


8. “Ring of Fire”-Johnny Cash

Love is a burnin' thing

And it makes a fiery ring

Bound by wild desire

I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down, down, down

And the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down




The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

Oh, but the fire went wild


I went down, down, down And the flames went higher




I went down, down, down


And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire






Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home

If you get there before I do


Tell all my friends that I'm a-comin' too


Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home



And now they're comin' for to carry me home

9. “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay”-Otis Redding

Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

(Chorus)

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide, roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time

(Verse 2)

I left my home in Georgia

And I headed for the Frisco Bay

'Cause I've got nothin' to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

(Chorus)

So I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Ooo, I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

(Bridge)

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything seems to stay the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

(Verse 3)

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It’s two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

(Chorus)

Now I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

10. “Stand by Me”-Ben E King

When the night has come And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No, I won't be afraid

Oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

(Chorus)

So darlin', darlin', stand by me oh, stand by me

Oh, stand

Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

(Chorus)

And darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Woah, stand now


(Interlude)

(Chorus)

And darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Woah, stand now


Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me? Oh, stand by me

Won't you stand now

Oh, stand, stand by me

And the rest is history

11. “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”-Elton John

I can't light no more of your darkness

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white

I'm growing tired and time stands still before me

Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling

I took a chance and changed your way of life

But you misread my meaning when I met you

Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

(Chorus)

Don't let the sun go down on me

Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line

But see me once and see the way I feel

Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm

But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

(Chorus)



I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free


(Chorus)



I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah
